Epidemiological evaluation of canine epilepsy is an under-researched area. The objectives of this study were to estimate prevalence and investigate risk factors for epilepsy of unknown origin (EUO) among dogs attending primary veterinary practices in the UK. The clinical data analysed spanned a two-year period and included all dogs attending 92 primary veterinary clinics participating in the Ve...

Clinical signs, postmortem and histopathological lesions in sheep suffering from sheep pox were evaluated. Animals were selected purposively from Yemeze Gera Midir, Kalu and Kutaber district veterinary clinics, Ethiopia. Relevant data and samples were collected for the period from November, 2007 to December, 2009. Of the total 3263 sheep examined, 49.5% (1615) showed skin lesions, suppressed ap...

UNLABELLED Tests performed in 2013 and 2014 revealed the occurrence of three tick species parasitizing pet cats and dogs in the Wrocław Agglomeration. In total, 1,455 tick specimens were removed from 931 hosts (760 dogs and 171 cats) in 18 veterinary clinics. The dominant tick species was Ixodes ricinus (n=1272; 87.4%), followed by I. hexagonus (n=137; 9.4%) and Dermacentor reticulatus (n=46; 3...

doi:10.1136/inp.d1193 Epilepsy is a brain disorder and is defined as the propensity to have recurrent seizures. It is the most common chronic neurological disorder seen in dogs. Most dogs that present with recurrent seizures have idiopathic epilepsy, which is thought to have a genetic basis and has no identifiable underlying cause when a full diagnostic work-up is undertaken. Symptomatic epilep...

| 6 Iams Clinical Nutrition Symposium | 2006 Iams Clinical Nutrition Symposium | 2006 Introduction The history of musculoskeletal imaging begins with Roentgen’s discovery of X-rays in 1895. Plain radiography has since become the initial, and in many cases, the only imaging modality for the diagnosis and follow up of joint abnormalities. Over the years, however, radiologists and orthopaedic surg...

BACKGROUND The One Health approach is emerging in response to the development of bacterial resistance. To the best of our knowledge, the possibility to use this approach in a clinical context has not yet been explored. Thus, in this paper, we report the procedures to implement a prospective observational study of diagnostic pathways in human and canine patients with suspected urinary tract infe...

BACKGROUND Veterinary students face diverse potential sources of zoonotic pathogens since the first years of their academic degree. Such sources include different animal species and pathologic materials which are used at university facilities as well as commercial clinics, farms and other external facilities. OBJECTIVES The present study utilizes a systematic review of the literature to ident...

Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) is a modern technique, widely used in human radiotherapy, which allows a high dose to be delivered to tumor volumes and low doses to the surrounding organs at risk (OAR). Veterinary clinics takes advantage of this feature due to the small target volumes and distances between the target and the OAR. Sparing the OAR permits dose escalation, and hypofraction...

Rhipicephalus sanguineus s.l. and Ctenocephalides felis are considered the most prevalent ectoparasites of dogs in Philippines. Vector-borne pathogens (VBPs) these pose health risks to humans animals. This study aimed confirm morphological molecular identity tick flea species parasitising Metro Manila (Philippines) molecularly investigate possible presence Bartonella spp., Rickettsia Ehrlichia ...
